no
1. the speed of light is actually the speed of time, and photons, having prime or fundamental rotation, can attach to time.
matter, on the other hand, vibrates in harmonics as it rotates, so cannot attach to time. thus, for matter, time passes. Matter ATTEMPTS to connect to time, creating a distortion in time we call gravity.
But as we accellerate any matter to velocities approaching C, time appears to slow down.
In actual experiments, as matter is accellerated to near C, it takes on a helical (fundamental) motion just like a photon. All energy applied toward accelleration is applied to increasing this rotational component, not to an increase in forward motion.
2. Gas prices are too high already, by keeping out vehicles below 186,000 miles per second, we save a lot of energy.

Sorry friend. I dont think we will have, because physics says that any object that could trvel with the speed of light will have an infinite mass. So a vehicle designed to travel with the speed of light will attain infinite mass thats is unmeasurably heavy while travelling. So till date according to physics it cant happen!

Further preoccupation with the speed of light!!
What future generations may be able to achieve, I do not know but I can reasonably confidently say that the answer is no!

No but we might be able to make use of worm holes in the universe to take short cuts accross space that would be like moving at the speed of light.

according to einstein's special theory of relativity, it is impossible for a body to travel with the speed of light. speaking in eqations, e=mc^2,
where e is energy, m is mass and c is the speed of light.
if a body which has mass travels with the speed of light, inorder to satisfy the equation, its mass also would increase infinitely and the energy which is required for it to move will also be infinite.

no it is not possible as for travelling at the speed of light we need to capture a photon of light which is impossible.unless the present nature of science develops it is radically impossible

Can't imagine they could since the gforce would be so great...think of how shuttle pilots are pushed back in their seats on take off....
They'd have to find some way to counter the force applied on the body.

I don't think so; the energy requirements are too severe to reach these speeds--even if you assume that some sort of exotic, space bending technology is used.

no, to attain speed of light infinite kinetic energy is required which is practicaly not possible for any vehicle. we can only reach to fractions less than its speed.
its as impossible as attaining absolute zero temperature

Nope.It would be more practical to create quantum singularities and link them with a network of wormholes.
